I asked the exact same thing and my post got flooded by downvotes and accusations of being a bot.

I summary, in game theory terms this is like the prisoners dilemma game. Everybody acting in a selfish way ends up being the worst scenario for everybody. UBI will never be implemented as there will be no motivation to do it or if it is implemented it will be terrible for people to depend on other's productivity to live. That gives a complete power over your life to the one that feeds you. Similar to any communist regime.

I'm a programmer but hate the cults related to it. Now these cults will make programming die.

I'm a programmer, just hate the cults that promoted self destructive behaviours.

I'm not sure devs will welcome this when github copilot becomes github autopilot. No more devs! It will be fantastic to see it.

I read somewhere that Stallman is sueing GitHub because of Copilot. Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe devs do something regardless of a different sentiment, but with less cringe and temper in comparison to artists. I agree with your general view on artists and programmers.

PS: It really backfired to share source code lol.

Yes, better for corporations that didn't have to pay for windows because the slaves of the cult were working for free for them writing linux haha! At the same time it wasn't profitable to make another new OS because there was a completely free alternative. So, any other project was dead. Amazing!

I think AI has already surpassed human artists. The only remaining problem is accuracy (some minor details) but I've seen so many unreal things made by AI that I've never seen done by a human, like those merges of two complete different concepts (cat + cheese, or pokemon with superheroes). This is specially true if you consider that AI takes 1 second and can generate millions of alternatives.

Exactly. Nobody ever wanted to become an artist to get rich. And it's been associated with poverty for centuries.

Did calculators replace people calculating on a piece of paper for a living? No. It just let them do their job better and... Oh... So they really got replaced? The occupation doesn't exist anymore?... Well, artists will be replaced.

Yes it is. And always made devs act against their own interests following the directions of the messiah Stallman. Now that devs become obsolete it will be amazing to see him getting exposed.

Yes! Awesome!

Programming. It will be beautiful.

For a long time a lot of people irrationally promoted others to share their source code (imagine you are CocaCola and decide it's a good decision to share your secret recipe LOL). Well, their shared source code was used to train LLMs haha! Specifically Github copilot. What an intelligent idea!

And the promoters will be crucifixed soon when people realize the cult has always been in benefit of companies and now it will be worse. I read somewhere that they are trying to prevent using AI tools to generate code but they have already dug their own grave.

I can't wait for this!

1st: that's limited to the US

2nd: it's not the same that "most of them have a bachelor degree" than "it's required to have a bachelor degree". Most people think they need to have it and that's why they get one, and then they start as everybody else being juniors and having a boss younger than them. Once you get your first job it doesn't make any difference and it's better to spend time earning money and getting experience instead of wasting money and time on useless knowledge.

The study you saw is completely wrong. You should read some profiles and job postings from linkedin and you'll see most software developers don't have a bachelor and most job postings don't ask for degrees and if they do they usually say "not required". Instead they ask for X amount of years of experience in React for example.

In IT degrees have 0 relevance. idk what are you talking about.

I think it will be the exact opposite. AI will make natural intelligence useless, and not an advantage in any sense. Also as AI can know more than possible for any human, knowledge will also become obsolete.

Maybe people will learn for pleasure, but obviously that will be less than 1% of the people that currently learn for improving their lives.

They'll only need to be able to talk, as AI will be like Alexa + chatGPT.

No, there will be two types of people. The people who own the production of the robots and ai... And then there will be everyone else who obeys.

It create more variety of jobs but reducing drastically the amount of position. So instead of 100 programmers you'll have maybe some kind of debuggers (only 1 or 2) and maybe one software prompt engineer and another ai configurator. So 3 new kind of jobs but 96 less positions.

They don't need to fully understand, just the business logic related language that makes most of the profitable software today. It doesn't need to learn how to code for instance astronomy apps, to destroy the job market.

What I think is terrible is the amount of bad advice regarding recommended careers. I.e. In many countries I found a LOT of advertisement about "you should learn to code, "everybody should learn to code", etc. It's like a brainwashing propaganda saying 24/7 that programming is the future, when in fact programming will be one of the first jobs to be automated, specially when it's web related (almost all the positions).

The same happens with learning other languages. In 5 years ms teams, skype, etc will probably have real time dubbing with 100% accuracy and perfect accent what would make learning languages for remote work completely useless.

Finally I know people that studied medicine at university for 7 years and now want to specialize in Image diagnosis (MRI, X Rays and other images interpretation and dignosis). Terrible decision considering that AI has been able to do that for a lot of time.

I hope they don't.

I'd steal from houses of those using VR, just for fun. I'd also draw them penises in their body and walls.
